Ezekiel 17:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ so the kingdom might be humble and not exalt itself^(A) but might keep his covenant in order to endure. ¹⁵ However, this king revolted against him^(B) by sending his ambassadors to Egypt so they might give him horses and a large army.^(C) Will he flourish? Will the one who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still escape?

¹⁶ “As I live”—this is the declaration of the Lord God—“he will die in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne,^(D) whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke.
